Many people used to believe that I would not be able to do so, but I did.
From bothering mom 24/7 to videocalling mom and describing how my day went.
I have huge respect for their knowledge and dedication to teaching.I consider myself lucky to be able to learn from such experts in their respective fields.
In PG, I met 5 other girls from my classroom, and from the start, I kept my expectations low and was sure that I did not fit in with them, so I kept my distance, and my only connection in college was my roommate at that time.She advised me multiple times to hang out with that group. I made it clear to her that it was not right for my well-being to spend time with people with whom I feel uncomfortable.
Let’s come to the answer.
I am happy I found them, but the scared half of me always reminds me to be ready for heartbreaks, and I don't expect much.
There are many students who can’t go home frequently because of issues like long distance, travelling issues etc..I can feel their pain.
For example, many of my collegemates didn’t know what UGC was. The girl who was my senior and was sitting beside me didn’t know that Guide is written by R.K. Narayan. She was going to tick Chetan Bhagat as the answer before I stopped her.
It will be a year since I started college, so I thought I should share my experience with you.

From my daily arguments with dad to missing him.
I lacked friends in 12th class,I didn’t understand a single thing those teachers were teaching and used youtube and educational subscriptions for learning.

Confidence is the key.
I felt frustrated, occasionally venting at my family and used to have panic attacks.
What toxic behavior has been normalized by society?
From being at home 24*7 to going home for a few days in 2–3 months.
I’ve realized the real value of money.
Going away from that place was my only wish at that time.I had no exposure to the outside world and I knew if I continued my further studies there, I would gain nothing.
From eating freshly cooked, hot and healthy food prepared by mom with love and care to eating pg’s carelessly made tasteless food.
In college, I met many people who were faking behaviors in order to look cool, and they still do. This 'pick me' behavior irritates me the most.
Thanks for reading my answer.

From watching news at breakfast- to sharing news on calls
I witnessed people with no understanding becoming successful simply because they were confident enough to stand on stage and perform.They arrived, performed, and it was finished. Their performance was not that good; it could have been better, yet people applauded as if it were the best.
